Dealing Remote-Control Drone Death, The US Has Lost Its Moral Compass

Warfare by armchair warriors playing video games is little better than murder. This misguided policy is fueling anti-American hate

...remote-controlled killing is a dishonorable way of fighting battle, not simply because it often results in the deaths of women and children and removes the combatants from face-to-face combat. It is making war more like a video game and giving technicians the dissociated power of life and death for the figures on the screen before them. It is making war into murder.
